On Sunday, March 10, members of the West Middle School Chorus performed the song "20 Beautiful Children," accompanied by the Southern Great Lakes Symphony and its composer and arranger, West Chorus teacher Dave Martin.
The song was written for the victims and heroes of the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy that occurred in Newtown, Conn.
It imagines questions asked by children about the events of December 14, 2012. The song concludes, "Can't we just take away the bullets? Can't we just stop making the guns? For those 20 beautiful children, if not for those 20 beautiful children, then who?"
